Why is my tuition credit being claimed?

I used the CRA autofill for the past 2 years and it worked great this year however i'm unsure. According to my student summary I'm claiming around $9600 from my federal and $12000 from my provincial tuition credit this year. I graduated last year and did 4 months of university and then began a part time job.

My total income is around $23,000 and I was already taxed on my biweekly pay. So i am confused on how this makes any sense. They are basically taking 90% of all my income in the year from my tuition credit.

 

Any help would be great, Thank you.
